Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture

HUMAN-LIKE SCULPTURES BY CAROLE A. FEUERMAN

Carole A. Feuerman is widely acknowledged as one of the world's most prominent hyper-realist sculptors. She has enjoyed five museum retrospectives to date, and has been included in prestigious exhibitions at, among other venues, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy.

Among the notable honors Feuerman has received are the Amelia Peabody Award, the Betty Parsons Award, the Lorenzo de Medici Prize at the 2001 Biennale di Firenze, and First Prize at the 2008 Beijing Biennale and the 2008 Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition. Her work is in the collections of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, the Absolut Art Collection, and Forbes Magazine, among others. Selected public collections include The Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, The Bass Museum, The Tampa Museum, The Boca Raton Museum, and The Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, Amarillo Art Museum, Queensborough Community College Art Museum, Brandeis University, and Grounds for Sculpture.

This decade alone has seen Feuerman honored with prominent solo exhibitions, inclusion in prestigious shows around the world, and numerous publications. Her work was featured in "An American Odyssey, 1945/1980: Debating Modernism," curated by Stephen C. Foster, a survey including over a hundred works of American icons in art, accompanied by a book in full color, that traversed Spain before coming to New York in 2004. The following year she was given a comprehensive one-person show, entitled "Resin to Bronze Topographies," at Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York. In 2007 Feuerman's solo exhibition, "By the Sea," was held at the Pavilion Paradiso in connection with the Biennale di Venezia, followed by a solo show, "Lust & Desire," at the art-st-urban museum outside Luzern, Switzerland. The following year, besides first prize in both the Third International Beijing Biennale and in the same city's Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition, Feuerman mounted a solo show, "La Scultura Incontra la Realta," at Florence's Moretti Fine Art, and was included in Venice's OPEN International Sculpture Exhibition. At the end of 2008, Feuerman's retrospective, "Silence-Passion-Expression," was mounted at the Amarillo Art Museum in Texas, which has been nominated by the AISEI for the best Monographic Exhibition for 2008-2009. One of her sculptures, "Grande Catalina" was published in A History of Western Art by Antony Mason and John T. Spike and published by Abrams. In 2009 Feuerman was the featured artist in "46 XX," an exhibition of four female artists at Moscow's Na Solyanke State Gallery; showcased in a solo outdoor exhibition along with Etruscan sculpture at the Archeological Museum in Fiesole, Italy; given a solo exhibition, "Swimmers, Bathers, Nudes," at Jim Kempner Fine Art in New York; and included in "Art and Illusion: Masterpieces of trompe-l'oeil from Antiquity to the Present" at the Palazzo Strozzi.

This decade began with the publication by Hudson Hills Press of the second edition of Carole A. Feuerman: Sculpture, written by Eleanor Munro and David Finn, the latest in a long string of publications and catalogues going back more than thirty years. In March, her sculpture "Monumental Shower" was exhibited along 140 works by 90 artists including Pierre Bonnard, Louise Bourgeois, William N. Copley, Edgar Degas, Albrecht Dürer, and David Hockney in an exhibition at the Ahlen Art Museum in Germany called "Intimacy" Bathing in Art accompanied by a full colored book of the exhibition.

She is currently exhibiting in her fifth retrospective at the El Paso Museum of Art in Texas called, Earth Water Air Fire, with over fifty one sculptures, five monumental pieces, two interactive installations, one video, and showing two of her new large photographs. The year will finish with a solo exhibition December 9th at the Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida.

Two international solo shows are currently scheduled for next year-the first in March at Galerie Hubner in Frankfurt and the second in May at New Gallery in Hong Kong.
